I was luck enough to try an E-Foil today for the first time. It takes a bit of adjustment (compared to riding a normal foil) but for anyone with any foiling experience it can be mastered in a few minutes only. You really need some throttle and speed to get this thing going as releasing the trigger will make you brake instantly (and fall). It works best at higher speeds and it's definitely a very exciting and unique experience. I did get a solid leg burn but I only just finished a 2 hour kite foiling session just before so that didn't help. The carving sensation is unique and a lot of fun.

Has anyone else tried these and would like to share their experience ?
